An application running on AWS uses an Amazon Aurora Multi-AZ deployment for its database.When evaluating performance metrics, a solutions architect discovered that the database reads are causing high I/O and adding latency to the write requests against the database.What should the solutions architect do to separate the read requests from the write requests?Read More →

A company hosts its application in the AWS Cloud.The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group behind an Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) load balancer.The application connects to an Amazon DynamoDB table.For disaster recovery (DR) purposes, the company wants to ensure that the application is available from another AWS Region with minimal downtime.Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST downtime?Read More →

A company runs a multi-tier web application that hosts news content.The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer.The instances run in an EC2 Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones and use an Amazon Aurora database.A solutions architect needs to make the application more resilient to periodic increases in request rates.Which architecture should the solutions architect implement? (Choose two.)Read More →

A company stores its data objects in Amazon S3 Standard storage.A solutions architect has found that 75% of the data is rarely accessed after 30 days.The company needs all the data to remain immediately accessible with the same high availability and resiliency, but the company wants to minimize storage costs.Which storage solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A company’s application runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB).The instances run in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones.On the first day of every month at midnight, the application becomes much slower when the month-end financial calculation batch executes.This causes the CPU utilization of the EC2 instances to immediately peak to 100%, which disrupts the application.What should a solutions architect recommend to ensure the application is able to handle the workload and avoid downtime?Read More →

A company runs its applications on Amazon EC2 instances that are backed by Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS).The EC2 instances run the most recent Amazon Linux release.The applications are experiencing availability issues when the company’s employees store and retrieve files that are 25 GB or larger.The company needs a solution that does not require the company to transfer files between EC2 instances.The files must be available across many EC2 instances and across multiple Availability Zones.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →
